(b) It takes signals from 4 GPS satellites to find your location pre- cisely on the surface GPS receiver detects radio signals from nearby GPS satellites. There are precise clocks on each satellite and in the receiver. The receiver measures the time for radio signals from satellite to reach it. The receiver uses the time and the speed of radio signals to calculate the distance between the receiver and the satellite. The receiver does this with at least four different satellites to locate its position on the Earths surface (Figure 2.38). GPS receivers are now being built into many items, such as cell phones and cars.
